A medical device for airflow simulation of the human upper airways

Project description

Cost- and time-efficient device to provide relief for nasal disease patients

Nearly 260 million Europeans suffer from nasal airway obstruction, which limits airflow through the nose. Surgery could be risky and costly for patients and governments. Spanish company NASAL has developed a medical device based on computational fluid dynamics analysis of nasal cavities. By investigating patients’ airflow patterns, it supplies a lot more medical data than conventional techniques. Its virtual surgery tool will save health systems time and money. To further upgrade and prepare the solution for the market, the EU-funded NASALFLOW project will perform a feasibility study to assess its technical, commercial and financial viability.
